For many of them, it also became an outlet to play outside of their tangled web of responsibilities as business owners, mothers, friends and partners.

Either The NYT wants you to believe every USonian owns a business, or they don't know what a wage worker is, or they're just playing up to their wealthy target audience. But its just so strange to not acknowledge that some ppl just have regular jobs.

The pic of the indoor half-pipe or whatever it is with a laundry machine at the top is crazy. So much going on there but it's admittedly cooler than whatever else ppl do with their mcmansions.

Worker is not an identity, capitalist is!

If you ever self harm and read the NYT real estate section, you can see pretty easily that their audience is not regular wage workers

It's pretty normal in Poland, press articles, soap operas etc overwhelmingly are about people who don't have a regular job but it's either always business or freelance or alternatively living in the job hustle when the topic is some particular job.

Love that one of their houses has the half pipe nearly blocking the washer/dryer. Committed to the life.

Thought this was gonna be an article about diplomats being awkward with their kids in foreign countries

Bit of a typo on your title there. Though knowing the NYT, I wouldn't put it past them to write an article about moms who "stateboard" with their children. Journalists can be that niche and out of touch, after all. That's why I thought it was the correct title at first.
